Product Details

Antique Wm. Radam’s “Microbe Killer” No. 1 stoneware jug, a fascinating piece of late 19th-century American medical and advertising history. This cream-colored glazed stoneware jug features the bold black stenciled lettering “Wm. Radam’s ‘Microbe Killer’ No. 1” across the front, giving it incredible primitive, apothecary, and early advertising appeal. William Radam marketed his famous “Microbe Killer” remedy during the late 1800s, making surviving branded stoneware containers highly collectible among buyers of antique pharmacy, medical, advertising, and Americana pieces. The simple utilitarian form, aged glaze, and original stencil give this jug the perfect authentic look for a primitive kitchen, farmhouse shelf, old-world pantry, apothecary display, or curated stoneware collection. Beautiful displayed alone or mixed with antique crocks, salt-glaze pottery, ironstone, transferware, early bottles, and other primitive décor. The neutral cream coloring makes it especially easy to style
